I’ll get back to the point of the Member based on attendance at one meeting, one comment, and he’s prepared to negate years of work, thousands of hours of investment and it’s unfortunate. I’ll give him one example of the issue that’s in there that I know has been an issue. That’s been the residency requirement to go hunting. It used to be I think it was four years, they’ve cut it down to two. Now, there have been a lot of concerns raised and the draft that’s going to be coming forward is going to indicate that we’re proposing one year. That’s a significant issue and there’s been huge debate on this and there is not unanimity. We recognize we’re a public government and we are making the choices to bring forward a balanced, fair piece of legislation. The Aboriginal governments have worked with us collectively and collaboratively. We’ve drafted this document and it’s going to reflect what we think is in the best interests of all Northerners. Thank you.
